Chapter 660

When saying the final words, the man spoke very softly.

He had only intended to offer an explanation, but knowing he had done something wrong, he did not dare to speak loudly.

Who would have thought that these words would be overheard by Chen Ang and Wan Shitong.

"What did you say?"

Wan Shitong widened his eyes as he looked at the man.

Seeing this, the man was slightly startled; thinking he had angered Wan Shitong, he immediately began to explain, "I didn't mean to make excuses, I promise I..."

Before the man could finish, Chen Ang walked over.

"Don't be nervous. We just want to ask you a few things; just answer truthfully."

Chen Ang looked at the man with a grave expression.

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but swallow hard.

"You just said that you fell into a predicament because you saw the Demon race acting suspiciously and followed them to take a look?"

Chen Ang looked at the man and said slowly.

The man nodded and said, "Yes!"

"We were originally guarding our posts, but because the Demon race retreated in large numbers, we felt a bit bored without any fighting..."

While saying this, the man kept his head lowered.

Admitting to his dereliction of duty made the man feel very embarrassed, fearing he would be scolded.

However, Chen Ang and Wan Shitong were his saviors!

When a savior asks a question, he must answer truthfully.

"We thought that since the Demon race had retreated anyway, staying in place was pointless, so we wanted to look around the surroundings."

The man looked at Chen Ang and continued, "We just planned to walk around a bit and then return to our posts!"

"Who knew we would happen to see the Demon race in the distance acting suspiciously."

The man was telling the truth!

At the time, they really had intended to walk around the area to stretch their legs before returning to their posts.

They hadn't expected to happen upon the Demon race acting suspiciously.

Out of curiosity, and also out of duty, they couldn't just pretend not to see the Demon race acting suspiciously!

And the situation at the time was quite complex, so they couldn't easily retreat to report it.

After all, the Demon race was acting suspiciously; if they didn't keep a close eye on them, they might lose track of them!

By then, even if they reported it to their superiors, the Demon race would be gone by the time people arrived!

So they thought they would track the Demon race first to see the situation before deciding on reporting it.

Who would have thought that after following them, not only did they lose the Demon race, but they also fell into a dangerous situation and almost lost their lives!

Thinking of this, everyone felt extremely ashamed.

"How many Demon race members?"

Chen Ang asked, looking at the man with a grave expression.

The man was slightly startled and said, "About a dozen, I didn't see very clearly, as I was at a distance at the time."

"And later when we chased after them, we only saw the backs of a few Demon race members."

Hearing this, Chen Ang fell into deep thought.

Another man standing on the other side immediately said, "Those Demon race members, do they have some new plan or what? A whole group of them, no one knows what they were going to do."

708: Finding the Demon Squad

The man waved his hand and added, "We followed them for a distance, then lost them! After that, we ran into you."

"After this incident, we have learned our lesson; we won't act on our own again in the future."

Right now, they didn't dare to think about what the Demon race was actually doing while acting suspiciously.

Their minds were filled with relief that they had been rescued!

If they encountered such a thing again, they would definitely not follow them; they would report it immediately.

Chen Ang nodded and said, "So that's how it is."

"You had better be careful in the future; reporting it immediately is best. If you listen to the arrangements from above, you won't fall into danger."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and said, "Mm-hmm!"

At this moment, Chen Ang said with a grave expression, "Alright, we should be going too. You all hurry back, and don't run into danger again."

After saying this, Chen Ang turned his head to look at Wan Shitong, and the two immediately dashed off in a certain direction.

Seeing Chen Ang and Wan Shitong leave, the group immediately continued running in the direction Chen Ang had previously pointed out.

"Boss, do you think the Demon race members they saw could be the ones we are looking for?"

Wan Shitong frowned slightly as he looked at Chen Ang.

Chen Ang said indifferently, "Probably not."

Judging by those people's description, what they saw was just a small group of the Demon race.

Although that group of Demon race members was acting suspiciously and certainly wasn't up to any good.

But it could basically be determined that they were not the group of Demon race members they were looking for.

After all, the Phantom had already said before that the Demon Lord valued this matter highly and had even dispatched two Tier 9 Demon race members to guard it.

This meant that among the Demon race members responsible for finding that medicinal flower, there must be two Tier 9 Demon race members present!

And the group of people Chen Ang just rescued had followed that Demon race squad for a period of time.

If they had really been tracking the group of Demon race members Chen Ang was looking for, then that group would have lost their lives long ago!

After all, even for Chen Ang, who is above the mid-stage of the Sovereign Realm, tracking a Tier 9 Demon race member requires extreme caution to avoid being discovered!

Let alone that group of reckless people who didn't have much strength!

Just from this point, one could see that the Demon race squad they were tracking was not the Demon race responsible for guarding the medicinal flower.

Thinking of this, Chen Ang looked at Wan Shitong and said, "The Demon race squad responsible for guarding the medicinal flower is extremely powerful."

"With their strength, if they had really been tracking that powerful squad, they would likely have been wiped out long ago and wouldn't have waited for our rescue."

Hearing this, Wan Shitong nodded and said, "Boss, you're right. The suspicious Demon race members they saw are definitely not the group we are looking for."

After saying this, Wan Shitong let out a long breath.

Although that group of Demon race members wasn't the one they were looking for, hearing that group of people talk about it, that squad seemed to be up to something bad as well.

If this matter wasn't investigated, Wan Shitong would feel a bit uneasy.

And without Wan Shitong having to voice his thoughts, Chen Ang could see what Wan Shitong was thinking.

After all, they were brothers who had been acting together for so long; sometimes, without eye contact, the two could understand each other's thoughts.

"Since we can't find that group of Demon race members guarding the flower anyway, why don't we follow the direction they mentioned and go take a look to see what that group of suspicious Demon race members is planning to do."

Chen Ang turned his head and looked at Wan Shitong. "Maybe we can find some relevant clues, or preventing some bad things from happening wouldn't be bad either."

Since they already knew there was such a group of suspicious Demon race members doing something.

Then Chen Ang naturally wouldn't just let it be!

If they were acting suspiciously, it definitely wasn't for anything good!

"Mm, Boss, that's what I was thinking too."

Wan Shitong looked at Chen Ang with a grave expression. "Maybe we can even ask something out of the mouths of this group of Demon race members."

As long as they could find this group of suspicious Demon race members, they would definitely be able to subdue them.

After all, judging by what the rescued group said, the strength of that Demon race squad wasn't very high.

If it were very high, they wouldn't have been tracked by people with such low strength without any reaction at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Ang and Wan Shitong immediately dashed off in a certain direction.

According to the time calculation, as long as Chen Ang and Wan Shitong's speed was fast enough, finding that group of suspicious Demon race members wouldn't be difficult!

After all, not much time had passed since that group of people saw the Demon race members.

"It should be this way."

Chen Ang calculated calmly. "They were likely tracking them to here before, and after losing them, they went that way, while we came from over there."

"When we came over, we looked very carefully along the way; it's impossible for there to be any traces of the Demon race."

Chen Ang said while gesturing.

Excluding the east, west, and south, the only thing left was the north.

"That group of suspicious Demon race members must be in the north."
